The new cables were thicker than the OEM, so I had to do some adjusting.

Taking it apart... straightforward for the most part and plenty of YouTube videos to help.

Blower motor ready to come out. 2 bolts and 2 nuts to pull. Afterwards, I gently pulled it out rocking left and right.

Blower out and this plastic cover between the evaporator and blower motor. There are quite a bit of self tapping screws that need to be undone to get it out.

Onto the engine bay to get that 10mm bolt that is holding the lines in place. Its a PITA and you need a u joint to get to it. The cruise control was always a issue, but finally got it. Unbolt the brackets holding the High and Low pressure lines so it can move when you pull it off the evaporator.

Pulled the evaporator out. Have to slightly dance it out while pulling. There was a small slot underneath I put a thin flat head screwdriver to help as well.

Removed old one. You have to reuse the foam piece and screws. I put never seize on thr bolts and lube the o rings before installation.

This was the hardest part lmfao... the damn o rings were a struggle to put on. No easy way to get under the dash while the lines are moving. Got 'er done though.
